Patient's question:
Nursing our babies with breast milk, recently I heard from others that we can also benefit our own bodies with our own breast milk. So, what are the benefits of breast milk for postpartum women and themselves?Doctor's answer:
Mothers drinking their own breast milk does not have any special effects; it is simply that the breast milk is rich in nutrients. Drinking the excess milk can help replenish nutrients. It is recommended that mothers during lactation pay attention to rest, maintain a balanced diet, and consume as much high-quality protein as possible. The diet should be light, avoiding raw, cold, greasy, spicy, and other stimulating foods. In fact, there is no harm to our own breast milk. Moreover, it belongs to a nutritional food and has no significant impact on our bodies. For our bodies, it is actually quite beneficial, and drinking it does not cause any symptoms.
